Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is a rising concern for the energy sector. A new standard test method may help reduce risk and protect steel integrity.
Although it might seem inconvenient to update coatings systems that have not yet failed, now may be an ideal time for manufacturers to reassess their protective technologies and consider newer, more effective solutions in this strained energy sector.
The National Center for Manufacturing Sciences announced the publication of a new technology brief focused on a new corrosion risk assessment tool to help combat the high cost of corrosion.
Read about a full turn-key solution to combat corrosion under insulation on an ammonium-sulphate feed tank. Within the space of 24 hours, the tank was repaired and protected against future corrosion with an industrial composite wrap system.
Silane-modified polyurethane (SPUR) systems find increasingly extensive utilization in adhesive, sealant, and coating products. This study reports on a novel tin-free catalyst that is shown to be significantly more active than industry-standard catalysts in SPUR applications, while providing similar system stability and other end-use properties.
